Cognac
Cognac is high in Salicylate. It also contains moderate levels of Histamine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateHigh
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
Distilling strips the histamine out, but years in oak put some back, so a barrel-aged spirit sits above a clear one. The bigger issue is still the alcohol blocking DAO — the older the bottle, the more both effects stack.
